Cuts trigger ‘panic’ City wants funding back for Cliff Block

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Members of New Westminster city council are blasting Fraser Health’s plan to cut Lookout Society’s budget, as they fear it could unravel improvements made to get homeless people off city streets.

New Westminster city council is appealing to Fraser Health to reconsider an $80,000 cut to Lookout Emergency Aid Society for outreach support services based out of the Cliff Block supportive housing centre.

Mayor Wayne Wright said there’s “panic” about the funding cuts because of the fear the city could lose some of the strides it made in recent years to get homeless people off the street and into housing.

“Why take the risk for that amount of money?” he said. “It’s not an $80,000 risk. It’s bigger than that. It’s the system that’s in place. It’s the people who have given their heart and souls to make it work. It seems pecuniary.

It almost seems mean spirited.

It’s not recognizing we have been working our butts off.”

Fraser Health and B.C. Housing representatives appeared before council June 10 to discuss the possible impact on non-clinical homeless outreach services that may arise out of recent contract negotiations with the Lookout Emergency Aid Society. As part of these negotiations, Fraser Health does not intend to renegotiate a ◗Cuts Page 3

Historic loss: Lois Wager, a Queen’s Park resident, is upset that a small heritage cottage in the neighbourhood has been pulled down so the owner could put two new homes on the double lot. The owner of the 1926 home at 221 Third Ave. tried to work with the city on a plan to preserve it, but could not find a solution.

Hopes for heritage demolished

BY MARELLE REID REPORTER mreid@royalcityrecord.com

Residents of the Queen’s Park neighbourhood who live near 221 Third Ave. are lamenting the loss of what they say was a heritage home that should have been preserved.

Lois Wager, who lives a block away, said she is upset the small cottage built in 1926 was recently pulled down to make way for two new homes to go on the double lot.

“I’m not happy,” she said. “I don’t think a lot of people were aware it was going to happen… I just think they’re beautiful homes and they should be left in the neigh-

bourhood.”

Another neighbour, Karen HollickKenyon, agreed, suggesting it would be easier to understand the demolition if the house had been rundown.

“I know people have the right to do what they want with their lot, and it’s not like I’ve been down at city hall fighting for it or anything, but I guess the reality – when I saw them start to take it apart – I just started to feel really sad about it,” she said.

According to New Westminster city heritage planner Julie Schueck, the city did approach the owner of the house to encourage him to preserve the building, but was

unsuccessful.

“This guy came in and was really keen to look at possible ways of retaining the heritage,” she said. “We looked at shifting the lot line, we looked at reducing setbacks and, unfortunately, because the house (was) so wide, any kind of new or shifting of the lot line would have resulted in a really, really skinny house that basically didn’t make any sense. So, we looked at every scenario possible, and reluctantly we agreed that it was just impossible.”

Schueck said the house was on a large ◗Heritage Page 8

Cuts: City wants funding back

Debt free:

Local blogger Cait Flanders, of Blonde on a Budget, made her last payment on a debt she’s been working to pay off for the last two years.

contract for non-clinical homeless outreach because it isn’t considered to be part of the health region’s core mandate.

John Stark, the city’s senior social planner, said Lookout estimates it will be able to serve 400 to 444 fewer people annually because of the funding cut. He said city staff are concerned about funding cuts to non-clinical outreach as they fear it could erode services and place additional demands on city resources, such as bylaw officers and police officers, and limit the referrals that staff can make for people dealing with issues like homelessness and addiction.

Wright said the city has worked hard for more than 10 years to address the issue of homelessness.

“We don’t want to lose that impetus now, “ he said. “We don’t want to go back. Quite frankly it’s still on the edge – that is why we are concerned.”

Denise Houde, director of clinical programs, mental health and substance use for Fraser Health, said Fraser Health offers many services that include a component of outreach.

“We are not abandoning New Westminster,” she said. “We are extremely present in New West and have several partners with whom we serve this population of New Westminster.”

Allison Luke, manager, developmentdisabilitiesandNewWestminster mental health and substance use, said Fraser Health provides a full range of mental health services, including outreach. She said the Assertive Community Treatment Team will work with the homeless population and people at risk of homelessness.

Fraser Health officials also cited a new partnership with the New Westminster Police Department, which has designated an officer as a mental health officer to identify and support frequent users of a variety of services, including police, health and community services.

Councillor Chuck Puchmayr said the city hired a police officer with mental health capabilities because it had been let down by senior levels of government. He said it’s not uncommon for police officers to go to the hospital with a patient suffering from mental illness in need of immediate attention and have to spend their entire shift waiting for the patient to be treated. Houde said Fraser Health is very appreciative of the mental health liaison, noting it’s a model that’s been in place in Surrey for many years and is now offered in many municipalities in the Fraser Health region.

Digging herself out of debt

A

t just 27, Cait Flanders knows what it’s like to be buried in debt and to dig your way out of it.

The New Westminster resident chronicled her two-year journey, which started with a $28,115 debt load, on her Blonde on a Budget blog. Last month, she made the final payment on her debt.

“I was swiping for a lifestyle I couldn’t afford,” Flanders says, describing her previous ways.

NIKI HOPE The end came when she finally looked at a credit card statement and absorbed the reality of her dire financial situation.

“One day I just stopped avoiding my credit card statements and looked at them and realized I was basically completely maxed out,” she says. “I only had about $100 left on the limit, and I had maybe $100 in my chequing account, and I had to make that last for six weeks.”

Along with credit card debt, Flanders had financed a new car and had about $4,500 in student loan debt.

“I don’t really think my story is different than anyone else in that sense. I was paying for all of the things that everyone tries to pay for and wants to do and tries to own. Even getting to that point of being

ON MY BEAT

maxed out, I don’t think that’s unique. I just realized I had to do something about it,” she says.

Once she digested the debt, Flanders says there were nights she would go to bed crying. Her family didn’t know about the situation either.

“They had no idea I was maxed out,” she says. “What was hardest for me – my dad, money has always been a topic of conversation at the dinner table for us …

We talked about credit cards. We talked about saving.”

Flanders was willing to go to any length to pay down the debt. She even moved in with her parents for six months, avoided shopping – online and in stores, and even stopped having her hair done.

“I basically just learned how to say no to everything,” Flanders says. “There were simple things you need like a new pair of jeans, something cheap. I just wouldn’t buy anything, if I didn’t need it. It was very much living on the basics.”

There was one time she nearly caved to go on a 10-day trip to Nicaragua with friends for only $1,000.

“I almost made myself go on it, but I just knew that was a $1,000 that I could throw on my debt, and I wanted my debt gone.”

Flanders also created a way to sort of tell on herself - she started her Blonde on a Budget blog.

“It was kind of funny, when I first started it, I thought I would post very bor-

ing things – my daily transactions – just for myself,” Flanders says, laughing.

But those updates struck a cord with readers and others in the financial blogosphere – a vast online world that Flanders is now a part of. Her story garnered media attention, and she has been featured in several publications.

Her blog also caught the eye of Flanders’s current boss, who plucked her from a job as a production technician for the Ministry of Education to her current role as the editor of a mortgage rate comparison website.

The new job took Flanders to Toronto for several months, but she eventually moved back to B.C. (she still works for the company).

“I really like it here. It’s kind of weird – I don’t know why yet, but it just feels like home already,” she says about New Westminster.

The debt may be gone, but Flanders says she won’t be saving much this summer – she has some travelling to do, though she’s paying for it all without going into the red. Once the season has past, she plans to start beefing up an emergency fund, then she’ll start putting more money into her RRSP’s, and finally, down the road, she wants to buy a place.

Given her track record, it seems pretty likely Flanders will achieve whatever she puts her blonde head to.

School district’s biz company could fold

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster school district’s controversial business company faces an uncertain future since the provincial government introduced sweeping changes meant to tighten regulations for running offshore schools.

The cash-strapped school district isn’t budgeting for any revenue from the business company next year because of questions related to the new rules.

“There comes a time when you have to decide how much energy you want to put into it, in terms of diminishing returns,” said trustee James Janzen, who sits on the business company’s board of directors.

“That’s what we have to take a look at.”

The business company runs a school and English program in Wenzhou, China.

“It’s really just the school in Wenzhou

that is really problematic,” Janzen said.

“The way it reads, as a school district business company, we are not allowed to be in that business. It all has to go through these agents. They’ve (provincial government) authorized 15 or 16 agents to operate offshore schools, and we’re not one of them. So we can’t operate an offshore school.”

The business company board is currently trying to figure out a way to work within the rules to keep the company “flying,” he said.

The district’s agent was not on the list of government-approved agents, which means he can no longer serve as the liaison between the offshore school, the district and government, according to a post by Vancouver Sun reporter Janet Steffenhagen on her blog. Another change and concern for business company chief

executive officer Brent Atkinson (who couldn’t be reached at press time) was a new annual fee of $350 per student, Steffenhagen reported.

The changes hit the Abbotsford’s school district’s business company so hard that it closed its offshore schools.

While the new rules might weed out shady operators, it hurt reputable business, Janzen said.

“I think Brent would be supportive of rules and regulations to keep those people out, because we want programs in China, and elsewhere in the world, to have a good reputation.”

Another concern is that the provincial government wants the Wenzhou school district to sign an agreement, Janzen said.

“Which they are reluctant to sign,” he noted. “It’s 60 pages long. It’s not been translated … It’s nonsensical. It was

poorly written. They are just not willing to sign it.”

The school district’s business company has been a controversial endeavour since the district started selling the B.C. curriculum abroad, under legislation introduced by the B.C. Liberals in 2002. For years, the enterprise – which required a $1-million investment that took years to earn back – was a drain on the district’s coffers, but it has managed to turn a profit in recent years. It is estimated to bring in a net profit of about $300,000 this year.

Janzen said they hope to know more soon about the company’s future.

“It’s going to be really challenging,” he said. “It’ll be a shame after we’ve put all of that effort into it, but, on the other hand, it is what it is. In terms of the overall revenue to the district, it’s not a huge amount of money, but it’s good to have.”

Teachers’ union head opposes 10-year-deal Premier Christy Clark’s government recently ramped up its election promise to hammer out a 10-year collective agreement between the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, but the local teachers’ union president says it’s a bad plan.

Grant Osborne wonders why either side would want to tie their hands for a whole decade and says a 10-year contract would

affect local school trustees’ ability to negotiate and govern.

“Ten years is a long time for both sides,” Osborne said.

The Liberal government likely feels emboldened by the results of the recent election, he said.

“I think that they want to try and prove they can do something that nobody else has done. I don’t know if it’s an attempt to poke and prod us into a reaction,” he said. “You have to assume it’s intended to be provocative,

so I don’t really know what the intent is, unless it’s just simply to impose the Liberal government’s will on teachers.”

Clark announced her 10year plan in the run-up to the recent election. She’s now put her words into action with her government giving notice in a letter sent recently to the employers’ association and the teachers’ federation telling them to focus on reaching the 10-year agreement she promised during the

campaign.

Osborne said the union was angry that it first heard about the letter through a newspaper article in a Vancouver daily.

“Once again, Christy Clark, she always chooses interesting times, or the government chooses interesting times, to put that out into play because we were all at the BCTF rep assembly,” he said.

“And this has happened before.

It’s pretty disrespectful.”

Clark’s 10-year plan was

floated earlier this year when the union and the province first began negotiating the collective agreement. The union’s current contract expires June 30. The two sides have been in talks since February, making good strides, prior to the recent announcement, Osborne said.

“We are making good progress at the local table, so it’s really unnecessary interference right now,” he said.

For many in

OUR VIEW

Corrigan will no doubt be painted as an anti-economy leftist for his city’s position. But he is dead on with his appraisal and criticism of the authority. The port authority is a member of the Coal Association of Canada and has, despite a website filled with ‘community consultation’ platitudes, not even held one public hearing on the proposal – they’ve left it to Fraser Surrey Docks – the company that wants to export the coal – to do that.

Talk about the fox watching over the chickens.

Today, Metro Vancouver directors (the group that has some authority over air quality permits) is listening to six delega-

tions opposed to expanding coal facilities. Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee has already penned a motion to send a ‘public statement’ to Port Metro opposing new coal shipments.

And, of course, New Westminster has come out – albeit a bit late to the game – in opposition to the Surrey proposal.

We think Port Metro was hoping this deal quietly slipped by citizens.

Thankfully that is not the case, cities and citizens are upset and rightly believe that they should have a voice in the situation.

If ever there was an example of the need for accountability, Port Metro Authority is a glaring example.

Another reason to distrust journalists EDITOR’S LETTER

I

PAT TRACY

am ashamed to admit it – but as the Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, expense scandal story simmers on social media and fills newspaper pages – I have gained a new appreciation for good cops who feel tarnished by bad cops.

Not long ago, after writing a particularly vociferous editorial lambasting bad cops, and the system that protects them, a police officer called me and berated me for besmirching every cop just by virtue of highlighting one bad cop’s misdeeds.

He was very angry – so it was hard to get a word in – but when my moment came to defend myself, I reminded him that I had made it clear at the end of the editorial that good cops clearly outnumber bad ones, and the good ones, are often unsung heros. It did not mollify him.

I know that journalists, like cops, were once held in some esteem. A recent survey found that we, like police officers, are now plummeting faster than Lululemon shares on the respect meter. We are not quite down there with used car salesmen, but it won’t be long, given the pace of our decline. I’m not sure why

this is, exactly. People may be fed up with reporters swooping like vultures into tragic news scenes, pretending to be empathetic and deeply moved by the plight of the victims – while waving the cameras in closer and elbowing out other reporters. They may be tired of pious journalists lecturing everybody else on everything.

They may think that journalists are paid to prop up businesses that are owned by rich folks who own other things – sometimes even their own newspapers. They may simply be less trusting of anything that looks like it’s trying to sell them something. The glut of bloggers who call themselves citizen journalists but tailor their columns to curry favour with realtors, or roofing companies, or kids’ stores, have surely muddied the waters.

In any case, Duffy and Wallin certainly don’t help.

Cheating – and cheating taxpayers out of their hard-earned money – seems particularly offensive coming from people who were journalists. We’re the ones who are supposed to make sure others aren’t squandering taxpayer money, or defrauding taxpayers. Or at least exposing such situations so that citizens can raise a stink and exert some righteous democratic vengeance.

I was attracted to journalism because it was part of a quest for truth, honesty, and justice. I was first inspired by Watergate and Ben Bradlee and Bob Woodward,

Get trucks off Royal Avenue

Dear Editor:

Can we please get these trucks off of Royal Avenue? I believe when I moved in, it was zoned as a residential neighbourhood. When I moved in, there were not this many trucks going by each and every minute. When I moved in, the Port Mann was not a toll bridge and did not cause all of this traffic to now use the Pattullo Bridge. When I listed my apartment last time, every single prospective buyer was aghast about the trucks sitting right under my window spewing exhaust.

If we can’t get these trucks off of Royal Avenue immediately, can we please blacktop the road with the same kind of quiet asphalt that they used near the Golden Ears Bridge? This would smooth out the road and perhaps dampen the sound of all of these thousands of trucks clanging and banging their way

up Royal Avenue.

The road in front of my building is very uneven and has many grooves, and now that the city has put new pipes underground, the road is like a patch work quilt of bumps. This in turn is causing every truck without cargo to make tremendous thunderous amounts of noise, while the chains and wheels bounce over the bumps and bang and clang along the entire street.

If we can’t get these trucks off of Royal Avenue, can we limit the time they are allowed to use Royal Avenue? For example, not on weekends and only during specified hours. Now that the Port Mann Bridge has been tolled, these trucks are coming along Royal Avenue at all hours of the day and night. It would be nice on a Sunday morning to actually sleep past 7 a.m. and wake up naturally without a loud banging and clanging truck. For that ◗Trucks Page 7

matter, it would be nice to have my windows open and perhaps even sit on my patio. For that matter, it would be nice to even watch television without having the volume at the highest level. For that matter, it would be nice to ditch these asthma inhalers that I had to purchase because of all of the diesel I breathe in each and every single day, whether I want to or not.

I would like to be a part of the solution, so I am giving consent for the city to use my tax dollars to fix this road. I don’t have any children so you can also use that portion of my tax dollars to fix this road. I’m sure a couple of restrictive signs and a bit of blacktop have been more than paid for by the residents of my building.

Besides, think how much money the province can rake in if these trucks were to continue to go over the Port Mann and pay the toll. Think how much money the City of New Westminster could make by ticketing these trucks if they use Royal Avenue outside of the specified hours.

Get these trucks off of Royal Avenue or at least give us some sort of relief from the deafening noise and the acrid air that pollutes our homes all day every day.

Coat of paint a bad idea

Dear Editor:

I’m not a fan of the idea of painting the columns in the Front Street parkade.

The stark and bold architecture of the Front Street parkade embodies one of the latest concepts in modern design. Movies film continuously on Front Street – even when government tax breaks dissolve – because of the gritty “industrial look” that passes as a slice of Pittsburgh, Detroit, New York, San Francisco or, in the case of Godzilla (the feature film being filmed on the street from June 10 to 18), Tokyo.

Films like New Moon, I Robot, Shooter and Godzilla, do more than a coat of paint ever

could to put New Westminster on the map.

I asked Ken MacAlpine, location manager for the current shoot, if they would be filming on Front Street if all the columns were painted green.

“Definitely not,” was his reply.

To quote from Creative B.C. – formerly known as the B.C. Film Commission – “New Westminster is a film-friendly city with unique locations, including heritage buildings, gritty street scenes and riverfront locations within a 10-block radius.”

Every week, all summer long, (when we are not inundated with big budget or low-budget films) fashion models and wedding parties can be seen primping for photographs on Front Street. Why are they there? Beauty – as is the gorgeous view of the park and river – is enhanced by contrast with the “industrial look” of the mid-century modern parkade.

Why kill a cash cow with a splash of paint?

We need some creative solutions, like making the top of the parkade into a green space or public gardens. The top of the parkade could become an actual extension of the new Pier Park, with the proposed walkway to connect them at the east end.

New West will prosper if we celebrate its uniqueness.

Yes, embarrassing to say, but I saw journalism as a truly noble calling. Not a way to make loads of money, gain prestige, or even rub shoulders with the rich and famous. But a way to give those who did not have a voice at least a glimmer of hope that someone gave a rat’s ass. And naïvely, I thought that most of my journalism contemporaries were driven by the same motives.

And, yes, I realize that some certainly didn’t get into journalism to expose

Re: Are city managers worth their weight in gold?, Editorial, The Record, June 12.

Your editorial states, “managers” salaries are pegged (at least partly) a good percentage higher than the employees below the manager.” And just who, exactly is doing the negotiating on those employees’ salaries? Why, those very same managers that must make more! What an incredibly ridiculous, insidious relationship.

Everybody wins except the poor, hapless bottomless pit called the taxpayer.

wrongdoing. Some wanted to write novels, others wanted to travel, still others wanted to see their own name in print – albeit only in a front page byline.

Was Duffy once driven by the idealistic motives?

Did he harbour a child’s dream of being with the ‘in’ crowd? Did he fight for the good stories only so he could gain access to higher opportunities for himself? Did he realize mid-career that the fight to expose wrongdoing was folly – that it was a losing proposition and he’d be better off hitching his star to political fortunes?

Or was he just a terrible money manager who got himself into a pickle and decided that, given how

much money was flowing through Senate coffers, nobody would really miss $90,000? No matter the reason, it is disturbing.

Basic journalistic ethics demand that journalists do not take gifts from anybody. It doesn’t mean that we can be bought with a simple ham sandwich but it does mean that there can be no misunderstandings.

And, no, I don’t think Duffy is sitting in some airport lounge worrying that he let little naïve idealistic Pat Tracy down.

But I do hope that he feels some shame for letting his profession down.

Heritage: Home could not be moved ◗ continued from page 1

property that straddled the lot lines, which allowed for development of new homes without subdivision.

Moving the house to another site altogether also wasn’t feasible because the house was so wide, she said.

While the city does have the option of placing a ban on demolition without the owner’s consent, this is very rarely carried out.

If the city goes ahead with placing a protection ban on a house to keep it from being demolished, the owner has the right to sue the city within one year for compensation.

Since 1995, only one municipality in B.C. has implemented the demolition ban on a heritage building – and that did not end well for the municipality, Schueck noted.

In Victoria, Rogers’ Chocolates applied to renovate the interior of its store in 2009, which would have meant removing some heritage fixtures, but the city enacted the heritage designation bylaw to prevent the company from moving forward. The company then sued the city and won the case, which meant Victoria had to pay “a whole lot of money” to Rogers’, according to Schueck. The case also cast a pall on the heritage conservation efforts in the province as a whole, she said.

“That’s a really, really powerful tool, and it’s a very serious tool,” she said.

“If we were to do that, in my opinion, it would only be for a building that is very important to the entire community. So, in other words, a building that everybody knows about and everybody loves; not a lovely house on a quiet street in Queen’s Park, unfortunately. We have to be very careful how we use that tool.”

A proposal in the 1990s to establish the Queen’s Park neighbourhood as a protected heritage area did not succeed

because there was not enough support given by homeowners in the area, Schueck said. Similarly, a proposal by the city to establish four heritage conservation areas within New Westminster this spring was not met with much enthusiasm by homeowners in those areas.

In an average year, the city receives between 40 and 60 applications for demolition of properties older than 50 years. So far this year, 20 applications have been submitted, three of which were for properties in Queen’s Park.

Any time New Westminster city hall receives a request for a permit to demolish a building that’s older than 50 years, the city takes action to prevent the demolition from going ahead, Schueck said, though it is usually difficult to convince new owners to retract their application. “It’s difficult because, as you can imagine, by the time a person submits a demo application, they’ve already got their mind made up, so it can be a really hard sell,” she said.

However, Maureen Arvanitidis, president of the Heritage Preservation Society of New Westminster, says the city isn’t doing enough to preserve heritage houses in the city. “(It’s) really super unfortunate that the city seems to not be able to show some sort of leadership in terms of coming up with some sort of protection for the area; not just for Queen’s Park, but throughout the city, because that’s part of what makes this New Westminster,” she said.

Arvanitidis referenced the recent heritage home tour which sold more than 1,000 tickets as evidence of the general public’s appreciation for heritage properties in the Royal City.

“You know, there’s a huge demand and interest in heritage, but we don’t seem to be highly motivated – we seem to be more interested in pointing our fingers at reasons why we can’t save things,” she said.

Gas line rupture provides good practice for New Westminster’s emergency plan

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A recent rupture of a gas line at a future school site was an educational experience for city officials.

After construction crews hit a gas line at the construction site on June 3, Fortis B.C. shut down gas in the area and repaired the pipe. The site is the former home of Saint Mary’s Hospital and the future home of École Qayqayt

Check

Elementary School.

Fire Chief Tim Armstrong said city officials used the incident as an opportunity to test the city’s emergency plans.

“We couldn’t have planned for a better exercise for the city,” he told council June 10.

Armstrong said the city’s response included setting up a mobile command unit at the site, alerting emergency social services and working

closely with Fortis B.C. According to Armstrong, the fire department evacuated Urban Academy, which is located in close proximity to the construction site.

Plans for alternate sites were pondered in case further evacuations were required. Staff from various departments met June 12 to review the response to the ruptured gas line.

“There is always room for improvement,” Armstrong said.

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST Q. What is the difference between an eye examination and a sight test?

N E W

W E S T M I N S T E R

GLENBROOK PET CARE WELLNESS CENTRE

A sight test can be performed by anyone who has an automated instrument to measure a person’s prescription for glasses. It relies solely on the accuracy of that machinery to prescribe a set of lenses, and doesn’t take into account Shainul Waljee, OD other important variables such as the alignment of the eyes, pupil size, corneal irregularities, or any eye disease that may affect the vision.

An eye examination is performed by a trained and licensed optometrist in order to prescribe appropriate glasses or contact lenses, as well as provide an assessment of your ocular health. A Doctor of Optometry can examine, diagnose, treat, manage and help prevent diseases and disorders affecting the eyes and visual system. Early diagnosis of eye disease can make a significant difference in the prognosis for your long term vision.

ASK A DENTIST Q. Why Are My Teeth Sensitive?

There are a variety of reasons that teeth can become sensitive. These range from gum recession - the most common - to cavities, grinding of teeth, recent dental work or even tooth trauma. With gum recession, parts of the tooth become exposed that do not have as much insulation as enamel so this often translates into heightened awareness of temperature changes in our mouths. If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity it is a good idea to mention it to your dentist as there is likely an easy solution!

ASK A JEWELLER Q. How often should I have my Jewellery Cleaned, Checked and Appraised?

We recommend cleaning and checking of your jewellery at least every 6 months, jewellery is made out of gold which is a soft metal that will last Susan Cartwright-Coates a lifetime if maintained properly. We check all of the claws on your rings, the wear on the back of the ring and inspect for wear on the sides. Pendants and chains also need to be checked, at the catch and pendant tops as they can wear thin from sliding back and forth on your chain. Regular cleaning can prolong the life of your jewellery.

What if one day your jewellery disappeared? Would you have a record for insurance purposes? It is recommended that an updated appraisal be done every two years. With the gold prices changing, your jewellery could be under insured and a loss would not cover replacing your valuables. A friendly reminder, our Appraisal Clinic this month is on Friday, June 28th and Saturday, the 29th.

ASK A REALTOR Q. Is it really necessary to hold open houses when selling a home?

Derrick Thornhill Park Georgia Realty

As a new listing, a single well advertised open house is highly recommended. After that, once a month for the duration of the listing is plenty.

Buyers today have become very independent by choice, enlisting the services of their agent only once interest is stirred. Almost all Buyers today are introduced to their new home online. An open house gives them a chance to view it anonymously. If a potential Buyer tells me that they saw the listing online, I know there is some level of interest or they would not be at my open. Sundays have always been better attended than Saturdays.

ASK A VET

Glenbrook Pet Care Wellness Centre Q: Why is deworming your pets important?

Dogs and cats can commonly become infected with an internal or external parasite at any point in their lifetime. Most puppies and kittens are infected with worms early in life through their mothers milk, and then continue to be exposed to worms by picking them up from worm eggs shed by other pets or from hunting rodents. Some parasites are considered zoonotic risk which means that the parasites can infect and transmit disease to you and your family. Most animal parasites can spread to humans through contact with animal feces or contaminated surfaces, ie; accidental ingestion or exposed skin (children playing in sandboxes, walking on pet friendly beaches or adults gardening in areas where cats and dogs defecate). Parasites can be harmful to both humans and pets and depending on the parasite can cause damage to the skin, eyes, brain, lungs, liver, or the intestinal tract. Pregnant women should be also be aware when dealing with cat feces as cats can shed a parasite called Toxoplasma that can be harmful to the fetus.

What can I do to reduce the risk?

• Good personal hygiene. (wear gloves while gardening, wash hands well) • Use preventive flea, dewormer, and tick prevention year round.

• Clean feces regularly.

• Minimize exposure to high traffic pet areas.

• Keep sandboxes covered when not in use so other animals don’t contaminate it.

• Keep children away from sandboxes that may be used by animals and make sure they wash their hands after playing and before eating.

Disclaimer: Always check with your veterinarian regarding your pet’s parasite control.

ASK A DENTURIST Q. How often should

I replace my dentures?

Dentures should be replaced every 5 years. New dentures can take years off of your appearance and give your face a lift as well as making chewing more comfortable.

Your face, mouth and jaw change over the years and your old denture cannot adapt to these changes. Tissues and bone that have shrunk cause poor denture fit.

Here are some of the signs that your dentures should be checked: • sore and irritated tissues • thinning lips and sagging mouth • difficulty chewing your favorite foods • looking older than you actually are • dentures falling out when speaking or laughing • a toothless looking smile • whistling, slurring or clicking noises • wrinkles around your mouth At the New Westminster, Maria Green Denture Clinic we suggest a consultation to have your dentures checked and cleaned every 2 years and replaced every 5 years to prevent any problems.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN Q. Why is my skin constantly dehydrated?

We all know how stress can damage our health and affect our appetite, which leads to weight gain or loss. However, most people are not aware that stress is another main factor that contributes to dull, aged skin.

Life in general is stressful. People who are going through job changes or dealing with family matters as such; stress can take a toll on a person physically and psychologically, it also can lead to dermatological problems, such as acne, brittle nails or even hair loss. When a person becomes stressed, the level of the body’s stress hormone (cortisol) rises.

Cortisol acts as a diuretic hormone. Our body will naturally excrete more water as this hormone increases. Due to this, not only will your body experience water loss, your skin in particular will suffer dehydration. Besides the skin appearing dull and lacking moisture, water loss also alters the normal functions of the skin.

Last, collagen loss in skin is ten times greater than any other tissue in your body when cortisol levels increase. So stressing over the fine lines and wrinkles on your face will only make them worse.

Luckily, topical application of natural, high quality products can combat collagen loss and dehydration. However, getting a correct skin analysis is the key to an effective facial. If you think you have oily, acne skin and using strong facial treatment and products to treat your skin, that might be causing more damage than solving the problem.

Although we can not avoid stress in our life, we can save our health and skin by finding time to give ourselves a break from our daily routines. We have a wide range of facials to choose from. We emphasize “relaxation is the key to health”, therefore all our facials not only guarantee improvement of your skin, but it is also a mind and body experience. We will help to find the balance and to maintain a healthy cortisol level in your body.

Royal City dancer rises to the challenge

BY MARELLE REID REPORTER mreid@royalcityrecord.com

Letizia Dotto lives to dance.

The 14-year-old New Westminster resident has been practising her pliés and pirouettes nearly every day since she was seven.

When she’s not at Boswell Dance Academy training with her teacher, she’s in her basement home studio practising her technique or reading about classical ballet in books and watching professional dancers on YouTube.

She takes high school courses online so she can dance on weekdays and on weekends she dances some more.

Letizia doesn’t hesitate when asked about her career aspirations.

“It would be my dream to have a role in a famous professional company and perform in front of audiences and inspire little girls,” she said. “That would be really cool.”

In the last year, Letizia has proven herself in the dance world, placing in the top spots at several competitions, and last week learning she danced a perfect repertoire for her latest Royal Academy of Dance exam – earning a score of 100 per cent.

“She’s just been an amazing student,” Contributed/THE RECORD said her dance teacher, Sharon Boswell.

“She just pours her heart into dance, and Driven: Letizia Dotto, 14, couldn’t wait to get back into the studio after waking up from each of the four eye surgeries she had it’s easy to give back to a kid like that.

City parks director recognized for role in the community AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

D

ean Gibson, the city’s director of parks, culture and recreation, has joined a list of accomplished citizens who have received Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medals.

Mayor Wayne Wright presented Gibson with his medal at the June 10 committee of the whole meeting.

He said Gibson’s contribution ranges from the

community to the provincial level, and to the national level, noting he has served on the board of B.C. Recreation and Parks Association as director, president-elect and president and, as a board member, has been recognized for his leadership and thoughtful, credible voice for recreation at the national level.

“A resident of New Westminster, Dean is passionate about this community. He leads the parks, culture and recreation department with more than 200 staff in our community centres, pools, arenas, museums and archives, parks, and soon, the new Anvil Centre,” Wright said.

Municipalities and organizations across the country were invited to nominate persons for the honour.

Teen fundraising to help build a school in Ecuador CLASS ACT NIKI HOPE

S

eventeen-year-old Royal City native Mia Hargrave is going to Ecuador this summer on a mission to help others.

Since Mia was in Grade 7, she has been heavily involved in Me to We, a for-profit social enterprise, which donates half of its profits to Free the Children. It organizes We Day, an annual event held at Rogers Arena every fall and organized by the Free the Children.

Mia has been doing various campaigns such as Halloween for Hunger/We Scare Hunger (collecting non-perishable food for the food bank on Halloween nights) and helped raise funds to build a well in Kenya.

Now she is planning to go to Ecuador for a Me to We volunteer trip this July.

Participants will help build a school for children who have limited access to education.

Mia has saved $2,000 of her allowance and paper route money so far, but she still needs more funds to make the trek. She is planning a bottle drive to raise funds for the cause on June 20, 21 and 24. For more info, email fundraise4mia@ gmail.com.

NWSS choir

The New Westminster Secondary Chamber Choir and The Coastal Sound Youth Choir were invited to perform as special guests at a concert on June 22 at Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver.

“We have had an excel-

lent year with the choir, with great response from educators, conductors and singers at the various festivals in which we have participated. It is an honour to be invited to sing with the Coastal Sound Youth Choir, which is, in my opinion, one of the finest youth choirs in Canada,” music teacher Kelly Proznick stated in an email.

The performance is called Summersong and is described in the press release as an evening of choral favourites inspired by the joy, spontaneity and freedom of summer.

Under the direction of Carrie Tennant, Coastal Sound has had a banner season. Last August, it was chosen as the top choir in all categories at the National Music Festival.

In June, Coastal Sound was named one of three finalists from across Canada in the Mixed Voice Youth Choir category of the National Competition for Amateur Choirs. Winners for the competition will be announced in July. Also this June, Coastal Sound was chosen as the Top Youth Choir, and the Top Choir Overall at the B.C. Festival of the Performing Arts.

The New Westminster Secondary choir – directed

by Proznick – and Coastal Sound “share a similar philosophy and artistic vision,” the release says.

“To us, there is no better way to learn about compassion, humanity, integrity, beauty and so many other fundamental concepts than by exploring them through music,” Stephanie Browning, a Grade 12 student who sings in both choirs, said in the release.

The event is on Saturday, June 22, 7:30 p.m. at Christ Church Cathedral, 690 Burrard St. Admission is by donation. For more information, call 604-5522762 or visit www.coastal

soundmusic.com.

Helping others

New Westminster Secondary School graduate Ian Bain has helped launch a non-profit partnership with small-scale Kenyan tea farmers to produce premium whole leaf tea and bring social justice to their industry.

Bain is working on the project with his uncle Grayson Bain, cousin Paul Bain and a team of volunteers.

“It’s called JusTea and it is a first-of-its-kind social justice project, which was conceived by my uncle, Grayson, best known for founding Rocky Mountain Bikes,” Bain wrote in an email. “We have launched a crowd funding campaign on Indiegogo.”

Kenya produces around 300-million kilograms of black tea each year. The lion’s share of tea is grown by over 500,000 small-scale tea farms in the country, and then processed in large industrial factories.

Consequently, the farmers only receive about one per cent of what the consumer pays, Bain wrote. “This leaves the farmers in poverty and without a voice to change their circumstances.“ Watch the campaign video at www.justea.com, to learn more.

“These students have earned their CA (chartered accountant) designation by successfully completing a rigorous and competitive academic program, focused on business and accounting competencies,” Richard Rees, CEO of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia, said in a press release. “We are very proud of them, and they should take great pride in having earned their CA designation.”

Legge: Gives back to honour father’s legacy ◗ continued from page 11

Legge accepted his award June 5 at a graduation ceremony at the New Westminster campus.

“Mr. Legge is a natural fit for Honorary Fellow,” said Paul Wates, chair of the Douglas College Board.

“He is a highly successful businessman who believes in helping others and giving back to his community.

He is someone we can all look up to.”

According to a Douglas College press release, Legge has raised millions of dollars for a variety of community causes, particularly Variety – The

Children’s Charity, which he’s been involved with for more than 30 years.

“My father once told me to give back to the community infinitely more than you take out,” he said of his father Bernie Legge.

“This could be your time, talent and sometimes our money. Personally I can raise more money than I could ever possibly give.”

Historical look at automobiles

The New Westminster Historical Society will be taking a glimpse at the local auto history at this

The society’s next presentation is on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the New Westminster Public Library’s auditorium.

The topic is: Cars, Service Stations, and Mr. Trapp’s McLaughlin Buick – A Glimpse At Local Auto History.

“This presentation will blend a glimpse at early automobile history in New Westminster with the much broader story of ‘the car’. Gary Miller, well versed in the history of the automobile, from fascinating trivia to the name and model of any car you’d

DBL VODKAS LE

like to name, will describe some local car history, auto-related events and service stations as pieced together by historian Archie Miller,” stated a press release about the presentation. “You’ll learn about local automobile history and Gary’s expertise and enthusiasm will bring to life some wonderful early photos of cars in the Royal City.”

The photos include street views with early cars and trucks, early autos with their proud owners, gas and service stations.

The presentation is free and everyone is welcome.

TIPS FOR TRAVELLING WITH YOUR PET More of us are travelling with our pets so it is important to be properly prepared. The following tips will help make your journey safe and enjoyable for you and your pet. ◗ If you have never travelled with your pet and have a trip coming up, consider test runs. ◗ In case your pet goes missing, always keep a recent photo with you at all times. ◗ Have a pet specific first aid kit – there are many types available or make your own. ◗ Never carry pets in a cardboard box as it will provide little protection in an accident. Always use a proper pet carrier. ◗ Be sure to use a sturdy, escape-proof carrier and double-check the carrier’s SASSY came to New Westminster Animal Shelter because her owner had abandoned her. Our guesstimate age for her is about 12 years old.

Now, do not let her age fool you.

She is very spry and although her hearing is not the greatest, she can figure out what you want pretty quickly. She LOVES to go for walks and just wants some attention and cuddles. Sassy would do well in a quieter home with not a lot of traffic.

Always Call Glenn!

clasp. Cats, in particular, are great escape artists.

Open the carrier several days before the trip and put blankets, toys and treats inside so that your pet will view it as a cozy den.

Consider bringing along whatever your pet is accustomed to, and what reminds them or smells like home.

Do not put leashes inside carriers as your pet could easily become tangled and suffocate.

It is a good idea to keep local veterinary and shelter contact information of your destination in case your pet gets sick or lost. Keeping this information handy will save time in an emergency. You may also want to consider keeping contact

Countless dogs and cats have been lost at rest stops this way. ◗ Ensure your pet has some sort of identification in case they get lost. Also, be sure to document your pet’s tattoo and microchip numbers and bring this list with you. It is also important that your contact information is up-to-date. ◗ Keep all your pet information with you rather than with your travelling gear as baggage can get lost or stolen.

Metro Vancouver wants local residents to conserve water This can amount to about twobillion litres of water used in just one day.

Metro Vancouver is reminding New Westminster residents to be water-conscious this summer.

According to a Metro Vancouver press release, demand for water doubles during the summer, especially on hot days.

restricted from watering their lawns in the evenings. Instead, lawn sprinkling is only allowed between 4 and 9 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday for even numbered homes, and between the same times on Tuesday, Thursday and Sundays for odd numbered homes.

Darrell Mussatto, chair of

Metro Vancouver’s utilities committee, said watering lawns in the morning decreases spikes in water consumption during the evenings.

Much of the evening demand comes from dishwashers, showers, baths and washing machines.

“If businesses and residents

continue to conserve water during the summer, Metro Vancouver can push back the date when we have to build higher dams, bigger pumping stations and bigger water mains,” Mussatto said, in the release.

The water restrictions do not apply to watering of flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees.

Congratulations Graduating Class 2013 Good career paths for grads

New Westminster Senior Secondary

Alpha Secondary

Graduates who majored in fields of study that are more recession-proof than others could have a decided advantage over students who went with other majors. Knowing which careers are still going strong and which have stalled can help college students find a career with growth potential.

• Engineers: Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems.

Many different fields require engineers.

• Accounting: Similar to other financial careers, accounting jobs remain stable despite the uncertain economy.

Where there is money to be spent,

individuals and businesses will require the services of accountants.

• Nursing/medical careers: Jobs in healthcare continue to be strong as well.

• Software design and development: Keeping today’s digital world running requires a staff of people constantly updating and creating new software.

• Salespeople: Sales is one of the oldest and longest- running types of occupations available.

Every industry needs quality sales professionals.

• Educators: The Millenial generation is just as large as the Baby Boom generation, and children will continue to fill up classrooms across the world.

Driving back in history OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

W

hile the automobile is an important part of both our transportation needs and our culture, it is also a target and focus of those who dislike anything and everything about it.

Throughout our history, however, this type of transport, whether car, truck or bus, has played a prominent role in our development.

In New Westminster, this mode of transportation has defined some areas of town, acted as a component in a neighbourhood’s growth and established businesses that prospered for years. The service station, gas station, auto dealership, auto parts, etc. all figure in our business history as well as in the evolution of certain streetscapes.

Early images of automobiles in this city also act as very useful markers

in working out a date of a particular view.

Over the years we have received great information from various sources about the cars in photos to help date the image.

New Westminster had early connections to groups interested in the improvement of existing highway systems and the creation of others at a time when there were very few autos in the area.

In the early 1900s, a “good roads” group was vocal, tourist facilities for “autoists” were built, servicing establishments opened, and a whole series of new advertisements began to appear. One very early auto even had a tie to a major bank heist.

Some of our walking tours of the city include stories that are directly connected to the car.

For instance, walks in Uptown, Sapperton and along 12th Street definitely include this topic in stories of early commerce, local activities and colourful personalities.

In early August, a tour of the downtown area will talk about, among other topics, service stations and car dealers – yes, in New Westminster’s downtown.

Watch for announcements about this walk.

Recently we were asked about the change in British Columbia from driving on the left instead of as we do now, on the right. “Did this really happen?” It most certainly did. The “rule of the road” change saw people go to bed Dec. 31, 1921 having to drive on the left, but they woke up on Jan. 1, 1922 having to drive on the right. Another automobile-connected piece of our history.

This story of the car is a

popular topic, and a guest speaker at the Historical Society on Wednesday, June 19, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library, will add to this story with lots of automotive bits and pieces. Gary Miller, local resident, no relation to us, truly knows his cars from specs and logistics to trivia – all great stuff.

Gary will join Archie, who will show slides of early automotive scenes and businesses, to fill in details, facts, figures and ephemera about what is shown in the photos. This will be an entertaining historical presentation.

Now, about that car and the bank robbery …

She’s going to play in Graceland

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Grace Wardle recently signed a national letter of intent to attend Graceland University and play for the Yellow Jacket softball program under coach Bryn Braddock.

Graceland University is located in Lamoni, Iowa, and is a Tier 1 academic NAIA school.

“I got a really good feel for (Graceland),” said Wardle. “I’m happy to be a part of the team.”

Wardle started her softball career in 2004 as a Thunderdog in the New Westminster minor softball association house league with local coaches Howard Walton and Robin Sukorokoff until she made the jump to Rep A ball in 2010.

There she played two seasons with the Richmond Islanders.

Last year, as Miss New Westminster 2012, Wardle juggled both ball team responsibilities and ambassador duties while travelling the Pacific Northwest on the Hyack Festival Association float and competing in recruiting ball tournaments.

Last July, Wardle was selected to the only Canadian team that participated in the Adidas Futures Tournament in St. George, Utah.

As starting catcher, Wardle anchored the allstar team to a ninth-place finish out of 36 American teams.

Hyack spring camp draws numbers

What’s in a name? New Westminster’s Grace Wardle recently signed a national letter of intent to play collegiate softball at Graceland University in Iowa in September. “(Wardle) is without a doubt one of the hardest working players I have had the opportunity to coach.

Her attitude, commitment to excellence, humility, coach-ability, and eagerness to improve daily are characteristics that only a champion possesses,” said Canada Futures head coach Joni Frei in a submit-

ted release. “I often tell my players to be the type of teammate that you would like to have, and Gracie epitomizes this concept. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to coach Gracie and have every belief that she will go on to do great things not only on the softball field but beyond the white lines.”

Despite the encouraging words, Wardle knows she will have to fight for a starting spot at the Heart of America conference school.

“The good thing about (Graceland) is it has a varsity team and a junior varsity team,” Wardle added.

“You are always working for your spot, which

is really good in a team atmosphere. No one gets lazy. Everyone is working their hardest.”

Wardle will be busy away from the ball diamond as well.

Hyack boys set new relay records

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

A Hyack Swim Club boys’ relay team of Sehajvir Singh, Ethan Laing, Dima Lim and Brian Ni set a new provincial age group record in the 11/12 200-metre freestyle with a 1:55.19 clocking, breaking the old mark by 0.34 of a second at the Kamloops June Classic Cup on June 8.

Later in the day, the four Burnaby/New Westminster boys also just missed a national record by two-tenths of a second in the 200m medley relay, setting a second long course provincial and club record with a 2:07.17 time at the Kamloops meet.

Hyack assistant coach Andrew Lennstrom has been working with the boys over the past few years.

The Hyack boys will try again for a national record at their week-

end meet in Coquitlam.

The Hyacks will host the annual Summer Solstice invitational meet at the City Centre Aquatic Complex on Saturday, June 15.

Hyacks medal in Rich

The Hyack Swim Club got some big swims from developing athletes at the Lower Mainland long course championships held in Richmond last weekend.

Eleven-year-old Ethan Bahng was a busy swimmer, winning three gold medals and medalling in three other races at the two-day meet.

Bahng won the 50- and 100metre butterfly and 100m freestyle. He was also runner-up in the 200m backstroke and third in the 100m back and 200m breaststroke.

Alex Chernomorchenko, 11, was another six-race medallist,

taking first place in the boys’ 50m free, second in the 100m fly and free and 200m free and individual medley and third in the 100m breast.

Bryan Milne was first in the 11year-old boys’ 50m back, second in the 50m breast and third in the 200m back, free and IM. A Hyack 10-year-old gained the podium in five separate stroke disciplines.

Gregor Gasovic-Varga won the 50m back, was second in the 200m breast and third in the 100m free and fly and 200m IM. Emily Lucas was a big winner on the girls’ side, taking first place in the 13-year-old division in the 100 and 200m back and 400m free.

She also placed runner-up in the 200m IM and third in the 100m breast.

Nicole Cheng won all three of her races in the 14-and-over cat-

egory, placing first in the 50m breast and 200 and 400m free.

Jelena Mitrovic also had a good showing in the teen division, taking gold in the 50m fly and 100m free. Mitrovic was also a runnerup in the 50m free.

Micah Lau won the 12/13 boys’ 50 and 200m free and was second in the 100m free.

Serge Chernomorchenko, 10, won the 50m fly and was second in the 100m breast and fly.

Rastik Ember also won the 50m back in the 12/13 boys’ division.

Stella Porcellato placed first in the 13 girls’ 50m fly and third in the 100m back.

Michi Duclos had a secondplace medal in the 11 girls’ 800m free and a third in the 50m fly.

Hannah Laing, Zack Zhao, Kaden Jaun and Andrew Li also earned a medal in their respective race.

The New Westminster Hyacks wound up spring football camp, leaving coaches optimistic about the coming fall high school season.

The varsity Hyacks got solid efforts at the team’s spring game in Blaine, Washington, last Saturday.

Quarterback Tommy Robertson, Jeff Lugtu and Adrian Cagampan all scored rushing touchdowns in the controlled scrimmage.

Seven separate receivers caught at least one pass in the exhibition encounter, led by Stewart Sommerfeld, who caught three balls for 104 yards.

Defensively, linemen Billy Collins and Harper Sherman looked particularly strong, while James Nicolas contributed a team-high five tackles.

The varsity Hyacks kick off the 2013 season against South Delta in the annual Kushnir Boot rivalry game at Mercer Stadium on Friday, Aug. 30.

Two weeks later, New Westminster will hold its annual homecoming game against Centennial at Mercer on Friday, Sept. 13.

The Hyacks open conference play on the road against Mt. Douglas on Sept. 20. Their conference home opener is against Belmont on Sept. 27.

Coming off an 8-2 season in 2012, the junior varsity wrapped up spring camp with a jamboree at Mercer Stadium.

Marcel Wang, Brian Cagampan and Jamie Shiho all made it into the end zone in the competition against Mt. Douglas, Centennial and Notre Dame schools.

Daniel Johnson led a group of new and talented receivers. Sunny Rishi, Declan Baker and James Cunningham stood out on both sides of the ball.

The JVs open their high school schedule against Lord Tweedsmuir at Mercer Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 5.

More than 90 players took part in Hyacks spring training from May to June.

◗ RUGBY

BLRC coach to head senior B.C. team Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s defensive coach Jim Dixon was named the head coach of the B.C. senior men’s provincial team.

Dixon, originally from New Zealand, helped Burnaby Lake reach the finals of both the premier men’s division and the Div. 1. He brings more than 12 years of experience in sports development and professional rugby coaching.

“The B.C. Bears are in

good hands with Jim Dixon leading the program in 2013,” Rugby Canada manager of coaching development Dustin Hopkins said in a B.C. Rugby release.

The national season kicks off against the Prairie Wolf Pack on Aug. 10 at the University of British Columbia’s Wolfson Field.

The Bears will play five games in the championship – a key stepping stone to selection for Canada’s national team program.

in business administration, and perhaps a minor in drama and improv at the Liberal arts school.

Wardle currently plays with the Burnaby Oakeys Rep A midget team under coaches Chris Bettles, Brittany Mayers and Cassidy Lee. This season, the Oakeys have been very successful in both Lower Mainland league play and in recruiting tournaments in Washington, Oregon and California.

As a developed utility player, Wardle plays catcher, third base and shortstop. She sports a .360 batting average and a .967 fielding average to date.

“I’m very confident in my ability to play at the next level,” Wardle said. “I’m going to school to play softball, but the most important thing is schooling.”

Wardle had interest from schools in Arizona and Georgia before accepting the Graceland University scholarship offer.

Senior B Caps nipped in overtime The Royal City Capitals missed an opportunity to move up in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association standings following an 11-10 overtime loss to Langley at George Preston Arena on Tuesday.

New Westminster came back from an 8-6 second-period deficit to take its first lead of the game on Alex Tuura’s shorthanded marker late in the final frame.

Jordan Catton put the visitors ahead 10-9 in the final minute, but Langley’s Jackson Smith knotted the score with his hat trick goal with 30 seconds left to send the game into extra time. Lukkas Smith got the game-winner at 3:54 of OT.
